CARDSI have been making cards and blogging now for 11 years so I know how fun it is to hit an anniversary! I have loved this community and all the friends I have made along the way. I am so honored to join Rubeena here today, to celebrate her crafty anniversary!

To create this card, I used the Stemmed Leaves Die from The Stamp Market to trace out the leaf image in light pencil. Then I did some watercoloring to fill in the lines. This was totally now for me! I had some crafty friends right by my side when I attempted this one. To finish off the card, I stamped that gorgeous sentiment in black ink and then popped the watercolor card front up on fun foam on the green card base.

To create this card, I cut a piece of that gorgeous paper and lined the card base. I stamped and die cut the happy, party and woot in white cardstock and then popped them on on the card front. Last, I went in with the coordinating sentiments and stamped them directly under each die cut. Clean and simple! My favorite kind of card!

Your next stop on the hop is over to my friend, Barb Engler's blog. Say hi to her for me! :)

I loved both of your cards....the first one was so soft and pretty....then the second....boy oh boy...YOU were ready to party.....I absolutely loved them both....Happy Anniversary to Rubeena.....she is such a talent...and so is everyone along the way on this wonderful blog celebration hop....thank you so much...big hugs

I love CAS cards too and am also a huge Lawn Fawn fan - your cards are both so pretty. I can't decide which I like better! Thank you for sharing! This blog hop is so cool mostly, I think, because it celebrates crafty friendships!!

The first was a soft dreamy looking CAS which I think you did so well. The second had the happy rainbow coloured paper, which was a bonus, & the sentiments suited the happy background. I really like both of your cards!

I like clean and simple as well. it's just been amazing to see how different we all are when it comes to style, media, etc. i am so grateful to have taken part in this blog hop, whether or not i win anything.

Wow, beautiful cards! I love your soft coloring on the leaf branch and the CAS style. That rainbow paper is awesome and the black/white sentiments really pop! Thanks for your continued inspiration on your blog, LOVE it all!

Beautiful cards! I love the simplicity of the first design with that lovely sprig of leaves! And such a fun rainbow card too.... love the sentiments! I am enjoying Rubeena's crafting anniversary celebration and all the inspiring creations along the hop!

Both of your cards are gorgeous!!! I love how clean and simple (but not easy to create) your first card is. I can see why you love the Lawn Fawn paper that you used for the background on your second card, it's fantastic and your card is so happy and fun!

I love how these beautiful cards seem great for a quick craft challenge. I tend to get lost in minute details when crafting, so trying something like this should be a nice change. Thanks for sharing, and happy anniversary to Rubeena! ~ Lenice

Both cards are beautiful in their own separate and unique way! I love the beauty and simplicity of the leaf. You did a gorgeous job watercoloring. And I love the happiness that rainbow colors just naturally generate! TFS--have a blessed day.

Love the vibrant colors on the second card and texture on the first card Laurie! The sentiments are perfect too! A perfect set of cards for Rubeena ‘s celebration! Thanks for being part of this hop and thanks to all the sponsors too!

Fabulous watercoloring on the leaves! I love the simplicity of the card. The birthday card is fun and colorful. Great use of the Lawn Fawn paper - it's perfect for lining up the sentiments. Thanks for taking part in Rubeena's celebration!
